Abstract: A multi-component, lightweight field hockey stick comprising a plastic head section and a handle fitted into the head section is described. The head section comprises a first flat surface including a flat ball-striking surface and a surface opposite the ball-striking surface so configured to decrease weight and provide increased structural strength. The surface area opposite the ball-striking surface includes an area for receiving a resilient pad. The field hockey stick is particularly useful as a learning or introductory stick for inexperienced players.
